Since my first TR1 build is more or less ready (the black one in pic below & separate thread at this forum) I have started on a second project. The first one is for tarmac so I thought I complement with something that could handle some off road driving, at least gravel roads.

Step one is to mount 17" wheels and take it for some test drives to see if it's any fun to run off road. Step two will be cosmetics, new tank, dirt-track-saddle etc... For the moment stalled waiting for some parts so I am more surfing around on webpages for inspiration & spaming pages like this  

I'm might put air filters directly on the carburators, has anyone done that without modifing the settings on the carburtors? Pro's / Con's?

Cheers!

High heels!   Yes, you are right, it looks a bit better with the off road tires and when standing on ground (without the center kick stand). Will see later how it turns out along the way...

Carb's & air filters, yes I assumed so, then I will not go that way to start with, don't want to mess with the settings to much with these vacuum carburators... Thanks for the advice!

Thanks, more info and link to long building thread (in Swedish) now available in the gallery page 4, it has transformed several times trough the years... Real amature as you can see but one learns by trying   Current set up is Kawasaki Vulcan wheels, xv750 tank, home made sub frame... Fork brace, is that the same as the "gabel stabilisator"? If so, it is a tarozzi I think. Otherwise the fornt forks are orginal but shortened and lowered and cleaned up...
